MAJOR J. F. HANSON-- r WRITES A LETTER ON" THE SUB TREASURY BILL. In Reply to a Request from The Southern Alliance Farmer—He Gives 'His Views at Length- Major J. F. Hanson, of Macon, has ‘SSrUlcn the following letter to .Air. 11. ('. Brown, of The SofTiimcN Alliance Farmer: Macon,Ga., October 4.—H. Brown. Dear Sir: The presure of private busi ness engagements prevented an earlier re ply to yours of September 30th. Without attempting at this time to no tice in detail the many social and politi cal features of interest in the present sit uation, I will state, very briefly, my im pression Os the sub-treasury scheme, as advocated by the Farmers Alliance. The principal objection urged are: 1. That it it is unconstitutional. 2, That it is impractical, and 3, That it would amount to class legislation and paternal ism combined. Upon the first I am perfectly clear in my own mind. The general welfare clause of the federal constitution was intended to cover subjects, which in the nature of the ease, it was impossible to provide for by specific grants. The framers of the constitution were doubtless willing to leave something to the wisdom, discre tion and patriotism of congress; other wise, our legislation would have been •governed by inflexible constitutional provisions, adopted without regard to changing conditions, which are always occurringin progressive countries. It is absurd to suppose that the ‘-fathers,” for whom politicians profess so much reverence, could have foreseen every pos sible contingency which in the future would affect the people of the country, ami hence the legislation demanded by their interests or necessities. It is not/ unreasonable to suppose it was intended that congress should be vested with full discretion to legislate as. it might think best for tJie promotion of the general welfare, and hence I believe in the doc trine that on all questions not affecting t he personal liberties of the people, con gress is vested with full powers to act as, in its wisdom, it deems best; and that tire adoption of any measure of financial re lief is constitutional, if congress believes it will promote the public welfare. It is both strange and inconsistent that southern congressmen, who have assist ed in perpetuating the internal revenue system, with its bonded warehouses and government credit features, should con clude that it would be unconstitutional for the government to advance money on cotton, while they maintain that it is constitutional for the government to ad vance money on whisky. It is said that ''The amount carried by the government on whisky is a tax, and this is true; but as the farmers pay their taxes in cash, the whisky distillers should be required to do the same, as legislation under which the government requires the one to pay in cash, while it advances the money with which to pay, to the other, on three years’ times, without interest, is class legislation of the most unjust and pernicious type. If taxes are paya ble in cash, the deferred payment of taxes on whisky amounts to a loan, and, if the government stores whisky for the distillers, and loans money upon it, it should stor<- the cotton of the planters, and lend money upon cotton. Both are the legitimate industrial products of the country, and are equally entitled to the fostering care of the government, or neither of them is entitled to it. With reference to the second propose tion: The practicability of this plan, there are many difficulties to be met; and the principal one will be in the adop tion of a system by which the govern ment can safely advance n» ney upon agricultural products, without involving co much machinery, detail and red tape as to re„d<-r the system ineffective :u a measure of relief, bo far 1 have seen but one suggestion of a plan that seems practicable, and that is the state sub treasury pl,.n, proposed by “Georgi-iu.” This necessitates the use of the‘national banks as auxiliaries, and, at this point, conflicts with the Alliance plan of doing away with the national bans:. I do not entertain a feeling of opposition to the national bunks, or the so-called money power displayed by the Alliance, and hence find no difficulty at this point; and as the opposition of the Alliance to the national banks, and capitalists generally is based upon what I conceive to be er roneous assumptions, with refeirence to the advantages which one has derived from the enhanced value of government bonds, and the general depravity of the other, fair discussion of these poi its will reconcile the Alliance to this plan, if it is found to be practicable It is not the fault of the national banks that government bonds are selling at a large premium. On the contrary, the financial support derived from the na tioial banks, from their inception to the present, has largely assisted the govern ment in establishing the high credit it now enjoys. This has resulted in great benefit to the people in the refunding of the national debt at reduced rates of in terest, thereby reducing public expendi tures and public burdens. The national banks have assisted the government at everv st«p in refunding its maturing bonds into issues bearing lower rates of interest, and by this policy have assisted in consumating the most successful pol icy of public finance known in the his tory of the world. If benefits have accrued to the banks as government creditors, it is better for us all than if their confidence in the gov ernment has resulted in mistaken and profitless investments. If they are not entitled to any consideration at the hands of the public it is a fact that the Alli ance cannot safely ignore, that neither governments nor individuals in public or private financial affairs are independent of, or can escape the power and influence of capital. In its various forms it con stitutes the world's reserve force. Its preservation and increase depends upon our development, progress and prosper ity. For this reason it cannot afford to bo oppressive. As a large borrower of money, I can testify that the bankers of Wall street have never failed to assist me in a crisis. I have found the dispo sition always to do all they could, and recently, when money was lending tor one-half of one per cent a day for specu lation, the regular legitimate customers of the national banks of Wall street were accomodated with liberal loans at 6 per cent interest, I know of m*ny cases were money was Obtained at this rate, and have heard of SOUTHERN ALLIANCE FARMER.

This much is said an defense of the na tional banks because it is just, aud be cause the scheme of “Georgian” makes them essential to its successful execution. Not on this,’ but the support of the capi talists of the country will be necessary to make this or any other sub-ti<easury scheme successful. The United States treasury, with all its power, cannot de stroy the capital of the banks. It may destroy public confluence in the stability of government issues of money, drive the capital of the banks from circulation, , aad even from the country, but this capital will be preserv ed and employed elsewhere. We can neither afford its withdrawal from busi ness, nor the sending of it abroad. ‘l'here .is no disposition upon the part of the owners to do either. On the contrary, they are ready to promote every legiti mate branch of business, to foster and protect all interests, and upon any scheme for the assistance of agriculture that is reasonable and safe we can count upon their help. If the Alliance can overcome its preju dice to the national banks and the mon ey power far enough to enlist their assist ance, the difficulties, even under “Geor gian's” plan, will still be great, and the outcome disappointing to many Alliance men, who suppose that the prices of August and September cotton, when the staple is scarce and under the control of speculation, will be maintained through the later months when the crop is mov ing freely. The outside world is as well informed about growing crops and sup plies as the farmers are, aad the storage of cotton will not make the supply of cotton less. If, under a combination of the farmers, the crop is held back, spinners will com bine aud shut, down their mills. Suspen sion of spinning for thirty days in the year will necessitate the marketing of a twelve months’ supply of cotton during eleven months of consumption. The de mand will be reduced one-twelfth, and the price at which 8 per cent of surplus must be marketed will determine the value of the whole crop. I make this statement to show that it will be impos sible, with full crops, to force cotton to an abnormal price and maintain this price. Sooner or later it will find its normal value and sell for it, and there is nJ way to prevent it. It is also true that at the time when money is scarce—in the autumn—cotton, as a rule, is high. The plan of storing the cotton in government warehouses when it is high, and holding it on a de clining market, would not prove profit able if, as I have suggestdd, the spin ners cannot pay the average August prices for cotton, and spin it for a profit The advantage of any scheme involving government advances would be found in cheaper money to carry the bulk of the crop during the late fall and winter, and even summer months, which would re sult in marketing the crop in eight, ten or twelve months, instead of five or six, as at present. It cannot be doubted that this policy would result in more reg ular prices, but it is questionable if the demand from spinners during the early fall and winter months would not be re duced, in view of ensured suyplies later on. If so we might see a steadier and more regular market, without higher average prices. There are other and important consid erations in a business discussion of this question, of which want of time prevents notice at present. The foregoing is stated as suggestive of the contingencies which may, and no doubt will, arise in the future determination of the value of this scheme for accomplishing the pur pose for which it is intended, if pru dential, they are nevertheless friendly, because it is important in every known undertaking to consider the difficulties attending it. The third proposition, witß reference to “class legislation” and “paternalism," is the most trivial, inconsistent and non sensical of all, as embodying the oppo sition of the anti-Alllance party to the sub-treasury scheme. IVe have but little legislation, state or federal, which, by distorted reasoning, might not be called class legislation. Besides, thia country has outgrown the idea that every great industry antagonizes all others; or to put it appropriately to this section, that everybody lives on the farmer, and is op posed to and against him It is one of the amusing and no less inconsistent features of the present political situa tion, that the same men who have taught the farmer this pernicious doc trine, should now oppose his efforts t > get something for himself, while every thing is going, by telling him that such legislation, as he asks for, is “class leg islation.” It should wake him up by the manner in which he has been toyed with by demagogues and politicians,who have heretofore failed todo anything lor him, and now refuses to support the measures of relief he has brought for ward for himself. If he is wrong in his assumptions in reference to the burdeus he is bearing, and the manner in which he has been neglected, his political tu tors are responsible for his error, and I mistake the signs of the times if he has not made up his mind to dismiss them, and look after his own affairs for awhile. All governments are essentially pater nal. A nation is but a large family. Mankind establish governments, and r urren lor to them private rights, and the exeicise of private functions and privileges for mutual protection, and the promotion of mutual interests, be cause these ends can better be accomp lished by government representing them than by each Individual acting for him self. Human happiness depends upon human prosperity, and hence the promo tion of the latter not only involves the highest functions of government, but the m ost imperative duty. If the sub treasury bill would amountto ilass leg islation {which I do not admit), congress might well afford to pass is, if it will promote, in »|large degree, the interests of the farmers, who constitute a large portion of the great family of the coun try. If it is not class legislation, by reason (as I contend) of the mutual de pendence of every class upon all others, and if this will bring enlarged prosper ity to this already prosperous class of our people, I can see no reason whv we should not try it. If itis class legisla tion in the sense in which a great deal of our legislation is class legislation, and will prove beneficial to the farmers, I do not object to it on this ground. If it will help them it will help all ether classes, and hence, as it can be tried without danger, I hope it will pass dur ing the next session of congress. Yours truly, J. F. Hanson. Woods Academy F. A., No. 644, Crawford County, Ga. Mr. Editor, we presume that it lias been quite a while since you heard any thing from this grand old lodge, hence we take the liberty of giving a few dots. In time past we had some trouble in our lodge of a local nature; but we think that was caused by having a very large and unwieldy lodge, consequently our lodge was divided, and since then our lodge has been at perfect peace one with the other. Our lodge is composed of some of the most substantial men in the county, and is in a prosperous and grow ing condition. The senatorial question is being agi tated here to a considerable erftent. Not by anyone, however, but a little news paper called the Crawford County Her ald, which is booming Gordon and ridi culing Macune as though it were a life and death case. But all this bluster is no good, the Alliance of this counts compose the greater portion of the vot ing population, and it has long since passed resolutions indorsing the sub treasury bill. It has also placed its can didate in the field (and he will be elected to support the principles of our order. Gen. Gordon has said that he could not support the sub-treasury bill if it cost him forty elections. Os course our representative, W. J. McAfee, being pledged to support the principles of our order, cannot support Gen. Gordon. Not because we don’t love our old war horse but because we think him a little off at this time in regard to the good of the country at large. If nothing will do our grand old hero but to be supported at the public teat, let him come dow’n in good old Crawford and lots of his old war boys will help him to the highest position that an American citizen ever aspired to that uX a pdvat? citizen, POLITICAL GOSSIP. Concerning the Approaching Primary. JUDGE TANNER’S STRONG IN DORSEMENT. The Clerk of the Superior Court and the Tt»x. Collector Have No Opposition. From the Atlanta Journal. About the clpef topic of conversation now is the approaching democratic pri mary for the nomination of county offi cers, which takes place on the' 14th*of this month. Judge Tanner has no opposition for the clerkship of the superior court, and this fact is being commented upon to Judge Tanner’s credit. The lawyers who have most dealings with court house officials are unanimously of the opinion • that Judge Tanner has made a most effi cient clerk. Colonel T. I’. Westmoreland says: “I think Judge Tanner’s administration as clerk has been highly successful. He has everything in his office carefully ar ranged and a good list of co-workers around him. He has undoubtedly made an excellent clerk, and I think his admin istration proved entirely satisfactory to the bar of the city.” Judge James A. Anderson says: “I do not desire to commit myself to any one candidate, but I feel no hesitancy in say ing that J believe Judge Tanner lias made a most excellent clerk. I have heard no complaint among the attorneys about the manner in which he has man aged the office, and I think he has made tlie county a good officer.” Mr. James Mason says: “I know of no clerk who has given the attorneys more general satisfaction, who is a more genial, gentlemanly and efficient officer than Judge Tanner. 1 think it would be a misfortune to the county should Tanner be defeated. He is an excellent officer, and in my opinion should be re-elected.” Mr. John M. Slaton says: “I think the systematic manner in which Judge Tanner has managed and kept his office deserves the hearty approbation of all our attorneys. He is an affable and pleasant gentleman and a fine clerk, and I heart ily favor his re-electibn.” Mr. Charles A. Read says: “I think that Judge Tanner’s administaation as clerk has been highly satisfactory. I have occasion to be in the clerks office very frequently, examining land titles and I always find things arranged sys tematically and neatly. I have experi enced no trouble in always finding papers in their places. “Judge Tanner has always shown an accommodating spirit, and, although I supported Judge Strong in the lastfelec tion, because I thought that as he was already in the office, he should be al lowed to remain. I feel no hesitancy in saying that Judge Tanner has made a moat excellent clerk.*' Messrs. Arnold & Son say: with out committing ourselves to any one candidate, we do not hes itate to say that J udge . Tanner is a good clerk. He has conducted the office in a most eatifactory manner, and is a courteous and efficient officer.” These are a few of the expressions picked up at random, and they clearly indicate that Judge Tanner’s services have been acceptable, and such being the case it is the right order of things that he goes before the people with no opposition.

A TEAFEDY, A soft breasted bird from the sea Fell in love with the light-nouse flame: And it wheeled 'roui.d the tower on its airiest wing, And floated and diti d like a lovelorn thing; It brjoded >H day. and it 11 it ered all night, Butcould win no look from the ste -.dl'nst light.

The lie-lit only dii-keied, the brighter to glow; But the bird lay dead on the rooks below. John Boyle O’Rielly. I have a friend who is my ideal “per fect woman, nobly planned.” She is in telligent and unassuming,' full of noble candor and a sweet and gracious charity that makes her the most endearing oi women. She has jolly sunshiny ways, and yet her big heart overflows with that indisicriminating kindliness that counts it- a pivilege to nurse a wounded criminal or an ailing beggar by the way side. She is universally beloved, and of course seems a happy woman whose lives have fallen in uncommonly pleasant pla ces. In a moment of idle questioning! asked her one day, “‘is there anything in your life that you would like to for get? You always seem so happy that I often wonder ifyouknow what lit is to remember sorrowful things?” She turned a pair of startled eyes to me and her faced whitened with positive pain as she laid her hand on mine and quoted softly ‘ earh heart knoweth its own sorrow, yes,” after a moments hesi tation “yes, there are few women to whom hope is a brighter beacon, or to whom existence offers greater compen sation, but oft-times 1 would give a king's ransom to be able to forget, first: That 1 was ever poor, for with my acces sion to this glorious state, my multitude of friends vanished as mysteriously as though fleeing from a pestilence. In the years that followed, years of toil, trial, and misfortune they never came near; even when my beautiful dead baby lay in her simple little casket, but one or two remembered and come to comfort. One never forgets such things! And the knowledge that ones best and most agreeable friends are not warranted to keep except under fair-weather flags is humiliating and utterly unforgetable once you have learned it! The bitterness of those old days re mains now to remind me that the world’s social favor comes only with actual own. ership of property and is not transfera ble exc .pt in fee simple with landed es state, gold, stocks, bonds and mort gages.” “I would like to forget too,” she con tinued, “that there is one woman who, entirely (unprovoked, cherishes a grudge against me that I am in no wise response ble for, and which could be obliterated v< ith my life. We meet of ten,al ways speak pleasantly, and I do not dislike her, though I know that she hates me and has cruelly persecuted me for years, by slily sowing seeds of dislike and dis trust in the minds and hearts of those who would naturally like me. Do you think I can ever feel fully at ease while I am so conscious of that one woman’s unconquerable dislike slowly spreading its poison? No indeed; we cannot shut the doors behind us on facts like these. We simply learn to endure. Do you know the old couplet: ‘ The world is Urge when its weary leagues two loving hearts divide; But your world is small when your enemy is loose on the other si ds. There are 27,000 men in New York, according to carefully collected statis tics, who are supported by their wives— men who vote and women who pay! And yet this is a free representative govern ment where tde liberty of Uhe least is the concern of the greatest! Chicago has a woman who shows what women may accemplish in this country. She is Miss Amanda T. Jones, and she has invented a new process of canning By it can be preserved fruit, vegetables > and oysters without cooking and with out the use of chemicals. The whole history of the invention is interesting. Having once become possessed by the idea that such a process could be found, Miss Jones experimented for several years with almost no means by which to carry out her ideas. She finally sought the co-operation of Leroy C. Cooley, of Vassar College, who pronounced her ideas very reasonable, and together they have worked out a process of can ning without cooking, the search for which has baffled the wits of many ex pert preservers of cooked foods. At this point Miss Jones had her invention on her hands, but no funds. She refus ed to bargain for her invention with capitalists, preferring if she could so do, to turn her invention for the benefit of women. She desired to form a company of women with the idea that women employes should be preferred, and that the company from its inception should be pledged to protect and fairly remu nerate its employes. After awhile Mrs. Eliza W. Bowman, who is connected with several public enterprises in Chica go, especially with those helpful to women and children, persuaded her to allow the subject to be presented to the women's press association of that city. This was done and led to an application for license to form an American Wom an’s Canning company. The license has just been granted, the incorporators being Amanda T. Jones, Mary Allen West, Helen L. Hood, Frances A. Conant, and Eliza W. Bowman. The objects of the corporation are to acquire the right to can uncooked fruits, grape juice as a substitute for wine, fruit syrups, oyst ers, etc. Also to put up the lighter meats, tongues, poultry, game and other goods by her improved process for can ning cooked food.—The Trades Journal.

I ’ The Proof of the Pudding is in the Eating. ’ The cook who knows flow to com . pound good soda-biscuit mixture has a . foundation for a number of delicious puddings, either steamed cr baked, which are a wholesome substitute for ■ the average pie, the so-called American dessert. The rule for this is a heaping tea spoonful of good baking powder to a 1 pint of Hour, one generouu labltspoon ’ ful of butter rubbed into it, salt, and milk enough to make a soft duiigh. The I materials must be of the best, Ihe work done quickly, and the oven of proper ■ temperat ire. If for a steamed pudding, the water must be boiling hard when it goes in. By ebserving these conditions a pudding made in thiu way will be light and digestible, instead oi the sod den mass so often served. Too much liquid will otten injure ac otherwise perfect dough, as the juice comes to the surface, covers the paste and keeps it from rising as much as it otherwise would In using canned fruits a good way is to heat most of the juice, in a separate saucepan, and to pour it over the pudding just as it gets to the table. A peach pudding made <xf fresh or canned fruit is delicious. For this is required about two-thirds ol a can of fruit, and dough made as directed. Put the peaches with a little of the juice in a round tin mould, a cake mould if not too large will do. Drop the dough over the top in spoonfuls, and set in a steam er over a kettle of fast boiling water. Cover closely and cook one hour. This should turn out without breaking, w lieu the peaches will be on top. Serve with a sauce made of a scant half cup of butter rubbed to a cream, one cup of powdered sugar, and a yolk of one egg beaten very light, and a quarter of a cup of wine stirred in at the last. This sauce should be soft but not liquid. If wine is not liked, the whole egg may be used and any flavoring preferred. Canned or fresh cherries (stoned), blackberries or huckleberries, may be used in the same way, and cranberries with their pleasant tartness are particu larly nice. In our household a black berry pudding is so much liked that a great many berries are canned especial ly for use in winter. Strawberry short-cake is made of this same mixture, and cutters eleven or twelve inches in circumferences are now sold in the hardware shops, which will cut a cake sufficiently large for one por tion. These should be split and butter ed when they come from the oven, the sugared berries put between and all neatly arranged on a plater. When serv ed a little cream may be poured on each plate. Raspberries make a good short cake, as do also peaches; but to be per fect the cake should always be served with cream. Biscuit dough made as directed but doubling the quanties;with a scant quart of huckleberries stirred in the last, makes a delicious dessert. This should be baked on round tin, and sent to the table hot. It may be cutin sections like a pie, each person splitting his own piece, and eating it with butter and powdered sugar this cake is also nice for breakfast. No more wholesome dessert can be made than “pop-overs,” if they are ligth and well baked, and it is one which is almost universally liked. A good pro portion for these four eggs, two cups of milk, two cups of flour, and salt. They should be baked in small earjbernware cups, which are sold for the purpose, and the oven must be of mod*ate tem perature. If of large size, thee-quarters of an hour will be required to bake them. Triplett Alliance, No. 13tO. We, the Triplett Alliance, condemn General John B.
